Classic French-style Potato Salad Recipe
Yield: 4 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2 lbs: Yukon Gold Potatoes, scrubbed, not peeled
3 2/3 cup: Dry white wine,
Salt, to taste
White pepper to taste, freshly ground
1/2 cup: Extra-virgin olive oil,
1 tbsp: Shallots, minced
2/3 cup: Scallions, chopped
Directions:
Boil the whole unpeeled potatoes in generously salted water until fork
tender, 20-30 minutes, depending on size. As soon as you can handle
the potatoes, but while theyre still warm, slice them just under 1/2
inch thick with a very sharp knife.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, boil the wine until its
reduced by half. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and hot reduced wine
over the warm potatoes; toss gently. Add the olive oil, tossing just
until combined, and then add the shallots and scallions. Taste and
adjust the seasonings. Serve at room temperature.
VARIATIONS
Follow the basic recipe above - just omit the scallions - and
substitute one of the following combinations.
Chopped tomato, diced crisp bacon, and hard cooked egg.
Chopped anchovies and sliced roasted red peppers.
Chopped olives, minced garlic, and cubed chicken or turkey.
Paprika, capers, and smoked salmon (To avoid cooking the salmon,
dont add it until the salmon is at room temperature).
